Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 review | An utterly absorbing realization of medieval life

Building upon and refining its predecessor's commitment to historical realism, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is an absorbing RPG that fully immerses you in medieval life. If you have the patience to endure a wilfully slow progression system, you'll be richly rewarded with much to explore and do in 15th century Bohemia. Reviewed by Alan Wen Video by Hal Dimond
